Export Arabic Crystal Report To PDF

Hi,
I am using JRC component to build crystal reports in English & Arabic. All works well except exporting Arabic crystal report to PDF?
Crystal File Format Schema: 12.0.0
I was reading another 3 years old thread and this was stated there:
"If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe" Any from SAP can you please confirm that does this still hold true? And are there any chances or plan to add support in future?
Regards
SC

Please disregard that part of the previous message.
As mentioned earlier, it depends on which of our products you are using to export the report. If you are using the Java Reporting Component, you will not be able to see Arabic characters in your PDF document because the JRC does not support font embedding, and only works with a specific character set when exporting to Adobe.
If you are using the Crystal Reports designer or BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK to export the report, you will need to ensure you have the character set installed on the same machine; for BOE SDK it needs to be on the machine with all of the services.

Arabic -English Report direct printing issues in Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working on Oracle database 10g and application server 10g on windows 2008 platform in Arabic Environment with the following settings.
-- Oracle database NLS_Characterset as AR8IS08859P6
--Oracle Database registery NLS_LANG as ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256
--Application Server registery NLS_LANG as ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.AR8MSWIN1256
-- font subsetting in uifont.ali for PDF
-- set Reports_BIDI_ALGORITHM = UNICODE
Now I am facing an issue in connection with arabic reports: When user enter the narration in the DATA ENTRY form like     ' AP600N حبر طابعة ريكو اسود   '      writing from right to left.
it's storing in the database as ' حبر طابعة ريكو اسود AP600N '
Again when its querying in the form, it comes properly as it's written.
Even its coming in the bitmap report in screen as it's written.   But when I am printing directly to printer in bitmap mode, its coming as its in the database.
Is there any way to get the print as they wrote in the screen?
Also the Character mode printing comes in left to right in screen as well as in printer.
Please help me...
with thanks & regards,
BJ

Arabic in Reports 10g

Hi everybody!!!
I have a report, which has a simple query with a where cluase based on a character column. the value of this column is passed as a parameter. When the parameter is in english the report works fine (the report format is in pdf) and when the parameter is in arabic then the pdf file is blank even the database has records.

Arabic XML reports running slowly

Dear All,
We are currently on 11.5.10.2.
We recently migrated our DB character set to AR8MSWIN1256.
There are some custom Arabic reports in the HR module. These are XML based. All the Arabic reports are taking long time to open the parameter form.
Please help to resolve the problem.

All the Arabic reports are taking long time to open the parameter form.Enable trace to find out why it takes that long.

Reports on web for Arabic Language (Reports Team)

Hi
I have deployed forms of my application on web. But with reports I have lot of problems related to language. First I tried to generate reports in PDF format, it failed due to multi byte characters.
Now I am trying to generate in RTF format I am having problem with pictures. I tried to generate report output in RTF format in client server mode. If I have to deploy the same on web, will you please give me step by step procedure to get output in RTF format and that can viewed on client m/c when called from forms.
Thank you
Syed

hello,
why don't you use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ? this is the only way of
secure submitting dynamic login information. another way would
be to hardcode username/password in the CGICMD.DAT file and use
a CGIKEY to invoke the report instead.

XML Publisher Arabic Report Display and missing header problem

Hi All
We are in apps. 11.5.9 with English and Arabic language support.Even though we have all our data and reports in English we are in need of an Arabic Invoice report.
Since Titles cannot be typed in oracle report builder we decided to build the report in Xml Publisher.
Every thing is done to run the report in xml publisher but we face two probles in the final xml output.
Problem1. Header and footer are not displaying in the report.
Problem2. Arabic characters are not displaying properly in the report.
Here what ever titles we gave in Arabic are displaying good.
If I save the xml file and load it in the templete and view output shows the correct arabic wordings.
But when during taking the output directly from apps. then the problem comes. The Arabic fonts are not dispaying correctly.
Any Idea about this.
If any one come across this issue please mail me at [email protected]
Habeeb

Try to load the arabic fonts into XML Publisher Admin. Check Tim's blog for more info (http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/06/how_to_install_a_font_using_xm.html)

Oracle Reports Team Please Help..! Arabic Reports PDF not working in Solaris

Hi,
I am not able to Generate Arabic PDF reports (HTMLCSS is working fine with me.....)
O/s is Solaris........O/s supports Arabic....

In place of arabic content its showing Junk characters..... In win2k Its working fine........ I have checked my uifont.ali I am giving my PDF section details..
[ PDF:Embed ]
helvetica = "helvetica.afm helvetica.pfa"
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial = "Arial.ttf"
helvetica = "Arial.ttf"
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"
And i have Included the Fonts folder entry in REPORTS_PATH variable entries...Is there any thing needs to be done.....??????
Why its not working in Solaris........PLEASE HELP ME OUT...........!!!!!
Thanks in Advance........
sharat ([email protected])

Hi Sharat
I see that you have two entries for helvetica font in your uifont.ali. Be aware that order of precedence is alias->embed->subset. If the helvetica part is appearing junk, try and comment out the entry in embed section and let the subsetting happen.
On Solaris, ensure that the case of font file names match.

I use BI publisher the latest patch.
OS is HP-UX
Application : 11.5.10.2
the report at client side is ok , before registering the reports on application.
thank you for your interst.

Afify,
Does the database character set match the application character set?
What about PS (postscript)? Does it run properly?
Please note that Arabic and BIDI tags are not supported in Reports 6i

I believe this is due to wrong setup of XML-Publisher. So, please verify the following:
1) Make sure NLS_LANG is set to "ARABIC_UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.UTF8"
2) You use the right encoding "WINDOWS-1256"
Please go through the following not to verify your XML settings:

Font problem in reports produced in PDF format

Dear all,
All our reports are developed by developer suite 10g (under windows) and deployed on an Application Server 10g (on Linux).
We had a problem with displaying the arabic letters, but this was solved by following the steps in the metalink Note no 726205.1 for generating arabic pdf reports on unix.
Now, the problem is that the font used in the reports is ARIAL, but when the reports are displayed (in PDF format) the font is TAHOMA. This font conversion happens in both Arabic and English reports !
I wonder how can I correct this behaviour.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Naglaa

Steve,
I remember that fonts in PDF generated by Oracle Reports is a big topic and a subject of many Metalink notes (metalink.oracle.com).
Note.210318.1 Ext/Pub How To use font embedding in Reports 9i for PDF output
Note.207711.1 Ext/Pub How to Use Font Subsetting in Reports 9i for PDF Output
Note 232975.1 "Windows/Unix Font Issues: What Information is Required to address the Issue and How to Work Around Issue"
Especially on Unix and Linux systems, there are some font mapping required. I suggest to run this question on the Reports forum here on OTN where I think you have better chances for an answer.
